After quitting school to enter a musical contest, Shiina was quickly signed to EMI, then promptly left Japan to avoid the trappings of contract work. After returning, she quickly released a series of singles and albums, all self-penned (a relative rarity for Japanese pop artists), and all meeting with great success on the Japanese charts. A hiatus to start a family followed, itself followed (after a divorce) by both a new album and a new side project, the band 東京事変. (Tokyo Jihen - or Tokyo Incidents)
After more success with the band, Shiina returned to a solo career in 2006 as the Music Director for the film 「さくらん」(Sakuran), quickly taking the number one slot on the Oricon charts with the album Heisei Fuuzoku released in tandem with a major soundtrack project. Following was a B-sides album which peaked quickly at the number one Oricon slot. In the years proceeding this, she spent most of her time dedicated to Tokyo Jihen occasionally revisiting her solo work.
Despite being involved in the main Japanese pop scene, Shiina has created a niche for herself based on a much wider musical range than most artists. Where most pop singers develop a basic sound based on contemporary pop aesthetics and throwaway lyrical matter, Shiina builds on a base of jazz, rock, Motown, and even French chanson equally well (the chanson works especially well with her trademark nasal delivery), infusing her projects with a very different aesthetic, and gaining a fan base separate from the core constituents of the Japanese pop apparatus.
Despite the release of album 三毒史 (trivisa-itihasa) in 2019, released after a myriad of singles being majorly included in aforementioned work. In 2020, Ringo and band Tokyo Jihen turned their backs to their past, doing a major reunion, with the drop of a few projects, such as sixth studio album 音楽.

The lyrics to 椎名林檎's song 熱愛発覚中 talk about various situations and emotions the singer is experiencing. The first verse talks about how the country is in the process of revival and the singer themselves is in a "tsundere" phase, expressing conflicting or contradictory emotions. They feel like they haven't been able to see or appreciate the beauty around them. The next lines talk about the singer being in a state of great value or importance, while the person they are addressing is in a state of selling or promoting something. The singer remarks how dangerous it is to have a nonchalant attitude like they can easily join the International Olympic Committee.
The chorus talks about the singer's attractiveness being followed by unfortunate consequences and how they have fallen for someone. They urge the listener to hurry up because their C-reactive protein levels are rising, possibly indicating inflammation or illness. The following verse talks about the singer's state of being overwhelmed by problems, having their mind filled with something negative (indicated by "××"). They feel frustrated because their Wi-Fi isn't working properly and they are not receiving replies to their messages.
The second chorus talks about the singer's loneliness being followed by more loneliness, their desires being disregarded, and feeling trapped or confined in some way. They express their dislike for the situation but also admit secretly enjoying it. They then mention a decrease in their blood oxygen saturation level (SpO2), which can be an indication of health issues.
The bridge talks about a completely frozen or cold and restricted area within the singer's being, and they mention wanting to thaw or be freed from that. They question where the most correct or true version of themselves is and ask the person they are addressing to see through them and show what they are like in an MRI scan.
The final lines of the song express the singer's desire to have the inside of their chest examined and captured in detail. They express their curiosity and hope for a diagnosis, and also mention wanting to know if their body is experiencing love or not, asking for a penetrating ultrasound.

@user-xs2lg7vn4d
以前、ロッキンに椎名林檎さんがいらっしゃって、「名前聞いたことあるし聴いてみよ」くらいの気持ちでステージに行ったんだけど、ファンの方が曲の間に「林檎ちゃん可愛いー！！」って叫んでて、それに対して椎名林檎さんがくすって笑いながら「あなたたちの方が」ってボソッと言ったの見て心を撃ち抜かれました。歌声ももちろんだけどなんかもう色気とかでもう沼に落ちた…
